It is noted that the number of reported cases in the VAERS (vaccine adverse reaction database) currently stands at 213. These 213 reported cases all involved amenorrhea, POF or premature menopause, 88 percent of which have been associated with Gardasil. The pediatric organization notes that the numbers could be much higher, as doctors may not realize that there is a link between the HPV vaccine and POF so may not report it to the VAERS database.
“Most primary care physicians are probably unaware of a possible association between HPV4 and POF and may not consider reporting POF cases or prolonged amenorrhea (missing menstrual periods) to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).”
